Gifts of Appreciated Stock

A gift of securities can possibly provide a significant tax savings. The donor receives a tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift and avoids paying any capital gains tax on the increase in value of the stock. Please contact marilyn.brandl@marist.edu for information on how to donate stock to Marist for the Class of 1971’s “Gift of Music.”

Employee Matching Gift Programs

Many corporations sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made to higher education by their employees. Matching gift programs provide employees the opportunity to double, triple or quadruple the value of their gift to the college. Find out if your employer has a matching gift policy. If your employer does match gifts to higher education, please contact your Human Resource department for information or the necessary matching gift form.
